Saving thousands of animals through emergency rescue, and exponentially more through game-changing programming — come share the love…

Come Fall in Love!

For the safety of all members of our Herd, and to do our part in this unparalleled time, we will be closed until further notice (this includes all tours, cooking classes, sponsor visits, special events, and Homestead stays).

While we won’t see any of you in person for a while, we’re excited to bring the magic of Catskill Animal Sanctuary straight to your home — through our Virtual Sanctuary. This live streaming program has been in the works for a while, and we can’t think of a more essential time to connect with you and share: Michael Turkey’s mischief updates, “nose boops” from the sheep, up close goat shenanigans, species lessons, Breakin’ the Rules with Kathy, cooking demos, and so much more!

You can stay in the loop on Virtual Sanctuary and all our other exciting programs by subscribing to Herd Around The Barn, our email newsletter.

Blog: Love Spoken Here

We know you’re as eager as ever to visit the animals! When we made our decision to postpone visiting season until May 24th, we thought the world might have enough time to sort itself out. Yet there’s still so much uncertainty: Ulster County has not yet met the criteria for reopening, and we have to abide by the recommendations of local government and health professionals.

We certainly hope to see you in the coming months, and will post our decision as soon as we have one. We’re deeply grateful for your continuing support…and we miss you all! Stay safe!
